About Us

We are the soul of a newspaper. Not just any newspaper. We are the soul of the Toronto Sun from back in the day when it was the tabloid everyone in Toronto talked about. We are the people who helped make it happen. Sadly, most of us are long gone from the Sun. Many are now deceased. But when we were all a part of the Sun, as it was, it was a vibrant, kick ass paper that captured the impossible dream.

Sorry, but nobody was mandated to go with that front. It is made available as a shared page like many fronts on major stories. Individual markets can opt for to use them. This will be true for the Olympic front produced Friday for Saturday papers.

Well if they can opt to use them, funny not one paper decided to go with something different and be original...it's not that great of a front or photo, there were better photos posted that could have been used for the front.

If you can't see how great that front was you shouldn't be in news. It was sparked by a reporter getting a great story. We should be celebrating that, not complaining. That single story won the day, and it may be the best story in a long time.

Yes, the local paper got swallowed up in the chain but no decent reporter allows themselves to get beaten in the biggest story of their careers.

All five Suns used the same "Bernardo's Pal" front on Friday. We'd like to think the sameness for the second time this week was the result of choice because it was another tab front winner. A Sun "gotcha" thanks to a team effort.

I'm not questioning the story (certainly front worth), but I'm questioning everyone using the same front design. Why have graphic artists, layout editors if one person is going to design a front for everyone?
